ell too. It's a lot like the Sourgum. Brush it onto the core and the sheeting and let it dry, then attach the wing sheeting. Very aggressive bond. Good luck!! -Original Message- From: mlcleary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 2:44 PM To: Soaring@Airage

I would stick with the 1/64. The wing is so small that it will still be very, very stiff. Also, the plane needs a decent amount of wind to fly, or at least fly well...more so then other slopers with similar wing loadings. I wouldn't do anything that could increase the weight too much. mlclea

[RCSE] zipper skin, 1/32 too thick?

2002-12-10 Thread mlcleary
I'm building a Zipper that I purchased from one of our fine members. It calls for 1/64 ply skin, I have some 1/32 ply. I'm thinking that the thicker skin will make it more Martin proof... Will the extra weight and thicker foil make it too much of a hog? Also, will 3M 77 (old version) be strong
